Chapter 1346: Chapter 1252: The Elf King’s Reward

At the Elf Court, the moment Da Fei and his deputy officers appeared, they were warmly welcomed by the Court Guard surrounding the Teleportation Array. Led by the Guard, Da Fei and his group passed through corridors with cascading waterfalls, gardens dazzling in their enchantment, and solemn, profound forests, finally arriving in front of a Crystal Throne within the woods. On the throne stood an elf wearing a white robe, adorned with antler headgear.

For all the scenic beauty along the way, Da Fei was already indifferent—after all, it’s world-class art. Da Fei only marveled that the Elf Throne wasn’t located within the palace, but in the woods instead. Elves truly do have an affinity with nature, quite different from the human court’s vulgar display of gold and jade.

"Warrior from another zone, you are here!" The elegant voice of the Elf King drifted through the forest.

Anlicia immediately whispered in Da Fei’s ear, "The Elf King standing before the throne is the highest form of courtesy for receiving guests. Please, follow my actions to return the greeting!"

Saying this, Anlicia promptly knelt on one knee, spreading her hands wide, and loudly said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Only then did Da Fei realize there was such an important detail, and immediately instructed his deputy officers, "Everyone follow along!"

Hence, Da Fei and his group, following Anlicia’s lead, struck this incredibly awkward pose and shouted loudly, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The Elf King was exceedingly delighted and laughed heartily, "Warrior, you have an exceptionally outstanding elf deputy officer; your achievement in glorious victories is no coincidence!"

What the... The victories I won have really little to do with her!

Anlicia, however, rejoiced, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!"

The Elf King was satisfied, "Very well, you are an excellent hero of the Elf Clan. I hope you will continue to assist the warrior in relieving the crisis for the Elf Clan in future battles. I shall reward you with a set of Elf Radiant Merit Battle Armor!"

As he finished speaking, five attendants came forth, presenting five platters holding green glowing components in front of Anlicia! Anlicia was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia has received a reward from the Elf King ’Elf Radiant Merit Battle Armor set’! Alicia’s reputation in the Elf Kingdom has become renowned!

5-piece set effect: Extra Attack +10, Defense +10, Magic Power +10, Knowledge +10. Set effects improve as the set components’ grade increases.

...

Da Fei was stunned, his jaw hitting the floor! Meeting the King entails direct rewards, directly awarding a set of equipment! It perfectly resolved Anlicia’s long-standing issue of having no equipment! Indeed, playing the game well pales in comparison to flattering effectively, doesn’t it?

The Elf King continued, "Warrior, this is our Elf Kingdom’s most renowned Merit set. Although currently A-grade equipment, as long as you achieve remarkable feats, you can use Merit Points to upgrade your equipment wherever the military officer is outside the Capital Palace, ultimately upgrading each component into a Divine Artifact is possible!"

Anlicia cheered, "I will certainly keep striving!"

Da Fei was further enlightened. Turns out, upgrading equipment works like this, which is far more reliable than the blacksmith enhancements at Divine Punishment City!

The Elf King then chuckled, "Warrior, before I bestow upon you any rewards, could you introduce this particularly disguised deputy officer in your team?"

Da Fei hurriedly followed the Elf King’s gaze, as expected, it was Elena being looked at! What the... It really was noticed, you truly have not let me down.

Da Fei quickly said, "Your Majesty, she is indeed a very special deputy officer. I brought her here in hopes Your Majesty could pardon her from being an Alliance Wanted Criminal?"

The Elf King shook his head and sighed, "If I’m not mistaken, this deputy officer is a Dark Elf! Dark Elves and we Forest Elves, though from the same lineage, have severe conflicts in both religion and ideology. Actually, this is not a significant matter. The key issue is the deity worshiped by the Dark Elves encourages enjoyment in slaughtering Forest Elves. Dark Elves often receive more rewards when they capture Forest Elves for sacrifice, making it impossible for our two elf races to peacefully coexist. In fact, even Dark Elf Tribes find peaceful coexistence challenging among themselves."

At this point, the Elf King shook his head with a smile, "However, I can guarantee in our battle zone, this deputy officer will never be troubled by the kingdom’s guards, so the warrior can rest assured."

It’s done! Although the effect is limited to Japan zone. Da Fei could only say, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the lenience!"

Just at that moment, Elena spoke, "Your Majesty is indeed wise. Compared to our Dark Elf Clan’s hysterical deity, Your Majesty’s generosity and tolerance are more befitting of a true god! Actually, compared to my fellow tribesmen, my religious beliefs and ideologies also differ greatly, and I would never slaughter Forest Elves under deity instigation, this Your Majesty can be assured."

Da Fei raised an eyebrow, a storyline event triggered!

The Elf King indeed showed increased interest, curiously asking, "How does this deputy officer’s ideologies differ from other Dark Elves?"

Elena shook her head and sighed, "To sum it up in one phrase, I think those Dark Elves are just too foolish!"

The Elf King laughed heartily again, "Well said! I think so too! Having realized this, what ambition or aspiration do you have?"

Elena stated frankly, "Regain my position in the tribe, correct their foolish lifestyle."

Da Fei’s heart trembled, is this Elena’s mission as an Epic Hero and the eldest princess? This seems like a path full of challenges destined for the Empress set on leaving me for independence!

The Elf King smiled, "You are indeed a very special Dark Elf. If my nation were not in turmoil and preoccupied, I would genuinely have a strong interest in supporting your ambitions." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Elena quickly said, "Your Majesty is wise, then I will fully assist our lord in pacifying your nation’s battles!"

The Elf King was delighted, "Good! Well warrior, now amid intense warfare, just tell me whatever rewards you require, and I shall fulfill them as much as possible."

Da Fei hurriedly asked, "If I eventually pacify this national war, could I still receive Your Majesty’s audience?"

The Elf King smiled, "Of course, after all, I promised this Dark Elf lady here."

Da Fei smiled, "Good, then I need Your Majesty to support me with at least one God-level Expert for escort. I aim to face off against the Demon Race at the Pool of Radiance battlefield!"

The Elf King laughed, "The warrior’s request indeed is challenging. The kingdom’s warfare is pressing, and all experts cannot abandon their posts, yet, there is an exception. The exception is, since you successfully assisted three Great Druids in avoiding the Demon Race’s assassinations at Ancient Tree Wall No.3 Battlefield, that battlefield is now temporarily stable. I’ll let them accompany the warrior for your expedition."

Da Fei’s jaw hit the floor! Good heavens, turns out they were acquaintances? Luckily, I didn’t accidentally kill them, what fate it truly is!

Da Fei expressed joy, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Elf King nodded, "However, Warrior should best conclude the battle at Pool of Radiance before any disturbance arises again at No.3 Battlefield. Alright, the battles are pressing, I’ll quickly send the three Great Druids to await further orders on the warrior’s ship, and the warrior should also prepare for the expedition."

It seems this meeting yielded no other rewards. Da Fei stated, "Then I shall take my leave, Your Majesty, await good news."

...

Now, Da Fei and his group have returned to Cold Jade City, with Tamilia emerging again to greet, "Master, just now, the Unicorn King transported the repaired Secret Realm Stone here. Do you wish to place it within the Central Village territory now?"

Perfect timing! Da Fei waved grandly, "Okay, position it immediately!"

At this time, three Druids adorned with antler helmets and feather cloaks appeared from the Teleportation Array. Da Fei raised an eyebrow, promptly leading the group to greet them, "Please may I ask—"

The three laughed, "By order of the Elf King, here to lend the warrior a hand!"
